Weekend Matches
« on: October 08, 2022, 03:35:34 PM »
I was watching the Bath Vs Gloucester match on BT, but I have given up. Foley is so bad today he is ruining the game. He needs to go back to school and learn the laws.

Bath, Glaws is not a great game, ref pedantry and failure at breakdown no help. Laurence seems in the game,  got more passes already than for England ☺ What has Bath done to Joe C's confidence? Too many basics not happening.

FT

Tiggs 16 Sale 26.

Formidable defence from Sale + good attack. Tiggs have no plan B and at the moment do not look like champions.

Used to think Foley was ok but he was awful today.

I stuck with the Bath game. The last 10 to 15 minutes weren't too bad, but there was some appalling decisions from both sides, almost made us look good.

Agree about Foley, he just doesn't look in control. Conversely, I thought Ridley had a very good game last night. I like his unfussy style of keeping quiet and not giving us a running commentary and also letting the players get on with deciding when rucks were formed, how to enter mauls etc. He could have policed the offside line a bit better, but that seems to be a general problem.

After a shaky start Chiefs did a very impressive job of shutting Bristol down and then slowly dismantling their defence. Genge was very lucky. He could easily have got a red for the tackle and then a 2nd yellow for dissent.

Looks like sale could be a serious team this season. Must admit did like seeing Tigers lose again

I thought it was all dross, not just Foley!

TMO annoyed me, both teams were technically poor, skill levels substandard and coaching tactics terrible. Even commentators were banal.

Only watched it live because my team's game was cancelled when oppo cried off. Wish I hadn't bothered.

So a couple of people disliked Foley’s refeering. Please explain what he did wrong compared to other referees. I thought it was an exciting games especially with Bath improving in the second half. They have a good acquisition from Worcester.
